This one is raw.

Jordy had her third brain surgery last week and this time recovery is a lot tougher than anticipated. Upon waking up, she was unable to move the entire left side of her body, fearing that she was permanently paralyzed. Luckily that is not the case, but there is a long road to recovery.

Before Erica and Alex visit Jordy at an inpatient rehab facility, they record from the car attempting to hash out their emotions before seeing their best friend. Then the trio gets real about this whole situation upon this setback and how they have been dealing with the emotional and physical toll of this unfortunate outcome.
